they're over my religion. for some people this is a zero-sum game. if the government isn't celebrating or recognizing religion at all, then you are denigrating religion. and i think that there is a middle ground that is neutral to this issue. not disparaging religion or promoting it on the other side. we are the most religiously part of it. as many as 1500 groups within the united states. presbyterians, episcopalians and methodists. and we're seeing a greater religious diversity within this nation. it's part of me to say that no one should be offended by this representation because to me it is just accepted. but there are many people who make these as well and we have to be safe with us. not like people to take away from this book that they understand that these debates about church and state are complex. and they have a long history there has never been a consensus view about what the proper relationship between church and state should be. objecting to certain manner but visions of government involvement and

else's religion over my religion. chris and this is a 0 sum game. if the government isn't celebrating recognizing legion at all then you are denigrating religion. i tend to disagree with that. i think actually there is a middle ground where the government can be neutral about religious issues, not disparaging religion on one side but also not promoting religion on the other side. one thing we have to keep in mind as we are the most religiously diverse nation on earth. as many as 1600 different faith groups and religious traditions within the united states. more muslims in america than presbyterians, episcopalians, baptists, catholics and methodists. they are right there. we are seeing of great religious diversity within this nation and we need to ensure that no one feels they are not a full participant for citizen because of their religious beliefs. that is quite easy for me as a protestant to say. no one should be offended by certain representations of my face because to me it is normal and so accepted but there are
